We don't walk alone.
How brazenly fiathless is any notion which halts our progression toward a brighter day because of the existance of the alternative. If life and light are possible, then so is darkness and death. How intersting that only the courageous consider the transverse statement, that if death and darkness are possible, then so is life and light.
In fact the truth is that by failing to move forward into the dark, you guarantee its persistence.
